Looking for an online college tutor?

Need a little extra help in a college class and can't make it to the tutoring center at the
times that it is open?

Well, the state hopes to eventually have all 107 Ohio schools join the
eTutoring Collaborative,
created to help students get the help they need at the times and formats that are useful to
them. Right now, three central Ohio colleges are participating in the program: Capital University,
Central Ohio Technical College and Ohio State University-Newark. Statewide, more than 20 schools
are taking part.

This is how it works: students chat with a tutor in an Adobe Connect room with audio and
video, a whiteboard, document-sharing and instant messaging -- all for free. Participating schools
provide paid tutors for the sessions. They can be current professors, retired professionals or
high-achieving undergraduate and grad students.

Students can get help for traditional classes, online courses and hybrid ones, which are a mix
of both. Tutors are generally available from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m., seven days a week. Hours of
availability in specific subjects might vary.
